ONE woMAN's ENTERPRISE.
Mrs. Mead had heard that Ashland was
going to have boom, and her feminine
curiosity to see jasa What boom was like
stood her in good stead. She went to Ash
land, fortunately with certified checks for
her few hundreds in her pocket, to stay a
day. She remained week and is fully
$50, 900 better off by her stay. There is
nothing gddy OF frivolous about Mrs
Mead, as the property owners of Ashland
soon discovered. She is a business woman
from the word go, and could give points on
keen bargaining to the shrewdest real estate
dealer that ever sold a corner lot or told
ten-storied tales about seductive acres. Mrs.
Mead saw that property in Ashland was
cheap, that
THE BOOM WAS COMING
that way and she invested her hundreds in
options. When the crowd, loaded with
money, struck the town Mrs. Mead was
coyly awaiting it. She wasn't over anxious
to sell, but somehow or other it was noised
about that she controlled choice property
and her callers were legion. He natty
figure, clad in a neat-ftting taiIor-made
suit and protected from the cold by a
magnificent sealskin dolman, was familiar
sight to every investor in the city of great
possibilities. Her magnificent diamond
earrings scintillated alternately in every
real estate office in the town. Save one
companion, the only woman investor in the
city, she was
ACCORDED EVERY COURTESY
by the excited crowd and not so much as a
dlscordant word was spoken in her pres
ence, though she was at all times in the
midst of the throng Her options decreased
as the wOuld-be capitalists became more
eager and the pile of greenbacks and checks
in her little hand-satchel grew correspond
ingly large. When the excitement began
to subside and the sellers outnumbered the
buyers, it was found that she was one of
the lucky ones who had unloaded and
whose profit out of the boom was of the
gilt-edged variety. Her faith in the future
OF the town. she told GLOBE representa-
tive, is unlimited and the she will hold a
portion of her property as
A PERMANENT INVESTMENT
with view of improving it. Though from
laudable desire to prevent envious feel
ings from rising in the breast of any of her
feminine friends, she modestly deprecated
the giving VI publicity 10 nor successful
dealing. She admitted that her profits
were eminently satisfactory. 1t will be
generally admitted that $50, 900 is a matter
OF satisfaction. Mrs. Mead, who is not in
numbered with husband it may be added.
will be under the necessity of laboring any
more for her daily bread, and will be quite
able to indulge in cake at every meal with
out stroke of work if she desires, while a
new sealskin cloak every year will be a
matter of the greatest ease. 1t is a re-
markable story of a remarkable woman,
and its moral is that the great West offers
equal opportunities to men and women
alike-if they are only bright enough to see
them.

But every blow made his edge more
blunt until he ceased to strike.

were all worn down and broken, and he
fell aside.
"Ha, ha /" said the hammer. "I knew

But at the first stroke off flew his head.

They all despised the flame, but he
curled gently round the iron, embraced it,

irresistible influence.
There are hearts hard enough to resist

Buckley, who had elected the foregoing in

about as follows: Three months since he
left home for the purpose of seeing the
wide world. He had travelled as far as
Tulare, where, like the prodigal son, he en-
gagged TO herd hogs, until the roaming dis
position gained the mastery and he came to
sacramento. Hunger drove him to the
Orphan Asylum, on Nineteenth and l.

OF desire to travel, and the two iourneyed
to Coltax, The officers of the asylum got
track OF their truant and brought both back
to this city, when Eddie was sent to police
headquarters. Colonel Larkin took a
tstherly interest in the little waif and dis
covered that Eddie was possessed of STEP
mother, which to his luminous mind was
some excuse for the desire of the child to
wander. The boy had seen hardships
